\PHPCR\Security\PrincipalInterface
The Principal is any entity that can be assigned privileges. E.g. a person, a role, a computer.
The reason to have this interface is that the PHPCR implementation needs to store the principals and use them on later requests.

Methods
equals(mixed $object) : booleanCompares this principal to the passed object.
Returns true if both this principal and the passed object match the same thing.
This is necessary, as the same hashCode does not guarantee equality, and the === operator is too strict, as there could be two instances of the same principal.
